#1 And North Korea would be turned into a radioactive glass desert.

Yes, I realize that Seoul would be gone too.

#4 You can count on evil doing what is in its immediate short term interest. That is the very definition of bad.

STRATCOM has a dial labeled 'rubble', 'gravel', 'dust'. For the NORKs, they would dial up 'dust'. Being turned into nuclear dust is not in evil's short term best interest. The NORKs will not go nuclear.

#6 Methinks the key will CHINA ALLOWING RUSSIA + INDJUH [India] + JAPAN + USA, etc. TO ECON SET UP IN THE DPRK ala FREE = DEREGULATED TRADE.

Again, IMO the DPRK wants be the US-WORLD'S + WALL STREET's "NEW BFF" ALA VIETNAM, which IMO again is the real reason the DPRK sent an Envoy to RUSSIA POST-YEONGPYEONG. CHINA, however is unlikely to agree to such international presence in the DPRK unless it is assured of its own NATIONAL SECURITY = CONTINUED OR "MAJORITY" MILPOL DOMINANCE OER ALL THINGS NORTH KOREA OR KOREAN.

WHICH NORTH KOREA = PYONGYANG IS TRYING TO AVOID.

At minima, IMO the USGovt-DOD should expect China to demand the formal end to USFK + UNC Commands on the Korean Peninsula, + prob ditto also as per USFJ = JAPAN.
